There are a large number of activities to choose from, whether you are looking for an active or relaxing vacation. Choose SUMMER or VINTER from the menue above to get to the activities.

Valdres is the perfect winter destination for families. Althoug the region is probably most known for its traditional cross-country ski trails, there are as many as 8 small and large alpine centers in the Valdres area, as well as many othe "non-skiing" activities to choose from.

The cross-country skiing possibilities are endless! Some prefer short excursions in the area they are staying in, while others like to ski for several days and spend their nights in self-service tourist cabins. There are near 1500 km of marked and prepared trails in Valdres and most of them are connected - making it possible to ski from one area to the other.

For those who enjoy the thrill of downhill skiing, we can present 8 alpine centers throughout Valdres with slopes suitable for both beginners and the more advanced skiers. Even though most of them have a family focus, you will also find areas that are perfect for off-piste skiing and guided peak tours in the northernmost areas of Valdres.
